senator, great to have you with us tonight. thanks for joining us. >> good. my pleasure. >> there is still an ugly underbelly to this economy as it stands right now. this past election was themed about and focused on the middle class. what can we do, senator, moving forward here in the short-term? your thoughts. >> well, first of all, ed, we have to do exactly what you are doing now and focus on an issue that gets very, very little attention. that is the fact that we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth, worse today in the united states than at any time since 1928 before the great depression. ed, from a moral perspective, moral, we have to ask ourselves whether we think it is acceptable that the top 1% owns 35% of the wealth in america when the bottom 60% owns 2.3% of the wealth. whether it is acceptable that the top 1% earns more income than the bottom 50%. and in the last study that we saw in 2010, 93%, 93% of all new income went to the top 1%. is that the kind of country that we feel comfortable living in? >
